    When my 109 p-up was running I got about 16-17mpg. Fresh rebuilt military engine, overdrive and a thing called a 'condensator' added to it.

      I got mine from a guy selling used parts out of his field for $30 and had the original tags on it, too. He even found the original rebuild kit laying around and threw it in the deal. I rebuilt it using that kit before installing it and luckily it had the appropriate sized jets for my altitude (or lack thereof). I was getting around 15-16mpg with my old Weber 34 and ended up around 12-13 with the Rochester. Might be better now that I have removed around 200 lbs of extra wiring and equipment during my 12v conversion.
